I was half asleep still when this message came up but it was extremely similar to the title of this post
"Caution VeraCrypt is unable to read (or write) to a part of the disk... would you like to write all zeros to that part?"
It said something about using a third party tool to repair the disk - however there was no issues with the disk as far as i know as i had done a chkdsk before encrypting.
This message came up about75% though encrypting the system volume.
It warned that - if it just does nothing then that part of the disk could remain unencrypted - and also that if i write all zeros and there is a problem then whatever was on that part of the disk will now be lost (data wise)
I cannot find this caution message anywhere in the docs or on the internet in general.
Any thoughts on what happened here?
And I did choose to write the zeros - 1) because i dont think there even is an issue with the disk and VC somehow confused itself... - and 2) There is no real data on this drive yet as I always do the encrypting first.
Is the whole volume still going to be encrypted and should I worry now?
Thank you in advance...
